Layer: Soil Organic Carbon - Year 2050 (ID: 233)

Description: Represents the change of belowground carbon storage from theMC1 "climate neutral" model to the MC1 GFDL A2 climate model. Climate neutral data is defined as not including any extra anthropogenic emissions, and is based on historical mean climate data. The GFDL model projects a future of a hot, dry climate. A2 represents a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario. The belowground carbon includes max belowground dead carbon, max belowground live tree carbon and max belowground live grass carbon based on the MC1 climate neutral outputs. The original data is in metrics tons per hectare units.
